Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The photos shown in the advertising of this hotel didn’t resemble the room we stayed in, in desperate need of modernisation/repair, shower broken, handle from shower room missing, meaning if you shut the door you would not be able to get out, unless someone was in the room. Room was smelly, no lamp shades. We arrived around 10pm and after finding the hotel, which has its sign obscured by a tree, we couldn’t get in as the main gate was closed, had a intercom on the gate, only to hear a recording in French. There is a restaurant next to the hotel which we went to ask, but then noticed a side gate to the hotel, went in and managed to find someone, who opened the gate to let us drive in, checked in and the person on the desk tried to get us to pay the local tax, which we had already paid when we booked. It was late and we have had a long drive from the south of France, so just stayed, didn’t bother with breakfast as just wanted to leave. My advice do not stay at this hotel, and I don’t think it should be on the Expedia site. Definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid.

SĂ©jour satisfaisant, pour une nuit Gros dĂ©faut : pas de support pour poser nos vĂȘtements. Seulement 3 petits ronds sur la porte, Ă  peine assez pour tenir Ă  la fois un manteau et une Ă©charpe ! pas de dossier de chaise ! Sinon, acceuil et service agrĂ©able.
